I must give a nod of appreciation to the inventors of trail mix. You've got your nuts, which are good. You've got your raisins, which are good. You've got your M&Ms, which are good. Yet some brave innovator risked them all, three sure bets for snackerly goodness, and made the bold decision to mix them.

And what do we end up with? A conglomerate that is somehow better than the sum of its constituent ingredients. 1+1+1=4, and the world is better for it.
